Ten days later, in the afternoon, Du Chengcai and the others stepped off the plane, all looking depressed. Out of the airport, get into a white minibus, and go straight to the Provincial Geological Bureau.

In the conference room of the Geological Bureau, the leaders of the Bureau and several experts are already waiting, and Chen Jiahe is also among them. When Du Chengcai and the others arrived, the old director personally greeted them at the door, shook their hands one by one with concern and solemnity, and patted them on the shoulder, "Welcome back, comrades have worked hard." ”

Du Chengcai's eyes were full of tears, and he tilted his neck and shouted: "Director, the six teammates are still there, what is hard work? What is hard work?" Lao Huang and the others hurriedly grabbed him and relieved him.

The old director was not happy in his heart, and nodded heavily, "There is indeed something improper in the bureau's arrangement. He sighed, "I have my responsibility, too." Hearing what the old director said, Du Chengcai quieted down.

The debriefing lasted more than three hours, and by the end of the day it was getting dark.

Ma Ruilin walked out of the conference room, took out his mobile phone, turned out Xue Yuxin's name, shook his head painfully, and then put the phone back in his pocket. When he just graduated, he and Tian Xiang rented a house together, and Xue Yuxin went frequently, so he kept the phone. He wanted to call more than ten days ago, but he didn't dare to dial after thinking about it. The tragic scene when Tian Xiang sacrificed was like a sharp knife stabbing him in the heart from time to time, making him unforgettable. He didn't want to let this sharp blade stab Xue Yuxin, it was too cruel. But he always had to give her an explanation, not to mention that Tian Xiang had entrusted him to bring a message to Xue Yuxin before he died. How can the best brother, the last entrustment, not help him to fulfill it? But how can it be realized? Marinelin walked alone in the twilight of the provincial capital in pain and confusion.

Early the next morning, Chen Jiahe called Ma Ruilin home.

"Xiaoma, are you sure Tian Xiang sacrificed?" Chen Jiahe asked when he came up.

Ma Ruilin looked at him puzzled, he had obviously made a report yesterday, but I don't know why Chen Ju asked again. He nodded bitterly, and recounted the scene again.

Chen Jiahe stared at him, "Nothing unusual before that?"

"Yes!" Ma Ruilin hung his head, "Tian Xiang seems to sense the danger, and asked me to help him bring a message to his girlfriend." ”

"What are you talking about?" Chen Jiahe asked as he stared at him.

Marelliin raised his head to meet his gaze, "He has only liked one girl in his life." Tears welled up in Ma Ruilin's eyes, and he cried and said, "But now, I don't know how to speak." ”

Chen Jiahe nodded sadly, "Xiangzi is really gone." He paused, as if to consider something, before adding, "You should go and meet the girl." Otherwise, you won't have a chance to help Tian Xiang's last wish come true. ”

Ma Ruilin was taken aback, and looked at Chen Jiahe with wide eyes, "Why?"

Chen Jiahe didn't answer him, stood up, picked up his coat and put it on slowly, as if he was making a very important decision, "It's time for us to go, let me bear this sin." ”

Ma Ruilin didn't understand Chen Jiahe's words, but there was a vague sense of foreboding. But he didn't dare to ask, and followed Chen Jiahe out blankly.

It's frustrating to see cars moving between the high-rise buildings of the provincial capital, and getting on and off in the middle of the traffic. Ma Ruilin looked at Chen Jiahe who was driving from time to time, and suddenly felt that the old man seemed to be even older today.

"Chen Ju, where are we going?" Ma Ruilin still couldn't hold back.

"Where to go. Chen Jiahe didn't hold the steering wheel and stared ahead, his voice was very low.

Half an hour later, Chen Jiahe drove the car into a parking lot. Ma Ruilin raised his eyes and was shocked: Why did you come to the hospital? He mechanically pushed the car door and followed Chen Jiahe towards the inpatient building.

At the door, Chen Jiahe suddenly stopped and turned his head to stare at him for a long time. Then he turned his head and said as if to himself: "Conscience, many times it is cruel. With that, he strode in.

The two took the elevator to the fourth floor, and after a few more turns, Chen Jiahe stopped in front of a hospital room. He looked at Marcellien and motioned for him to come in, while he sat down on the bench in the doorway.

Ma Ruilin seemed to understand all this, he looked at Chen Jiahe, and hesitantly pushed open the door.

Several middle-aged men and women sitting around the hospital bed turned to look at him, Ma Ruilin didn't know any of them, but he still walked in slowly. Approaching the hospital bed, his heart twitched, like a sharp blade inserted into his heart in an instant, there was a heart-rending pain, and his tears flowed out instantly. Is this Xue Yuxin? Where is the jet-black hair? Where is the handsome face? There are tear stains on the pale face, and there are teardrops in the sunken eye sockets, what's the matter? He trembled slightly, holding tears in pain, for some reason, he wanted to scold people, scold this injustice. How did a former pair of beautiful people fall to such a point?

"Who's coming?" Xue Yuxin, who had been unconscious, suddenly asked, her voice was faint but clear.

Xue Yuxin's mother hurriedly leaned over, and she cried after she screamed, "Xin ......".

Ma Ruilin calmed down and took two steps closer, "Yuxin, do you remember me? I'm Ma Ruilin." ”

Xue Yuxin's eyes suddenly widened, and she grinned, trying to lean out. His parents hurriedly helped her, "Child, don't move." ”

"What about Tian Xiang?" Xue Yuxin asked anxiously with her misty eyes.

Raylin's heart twitched, he opened his mouth and closed it again, not knowing how to speak. At this time, Xue Yuxin's father was glaring at him angrily.

"Xiangzi misses you very much, and will be back in a few days, and will come to see you as soon as he gets home. At a critical time, Marcelliin's ability to lie without writing drafts was naturally revealed.

Xue Yuxin's pale face was full of disappointment, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up and asked, "Is he okay?"

Ray Lin burst into tears, he pressed his heart, restrained his emotions vigorously, and said as calmly as possible: "He is very good, he has made meritorious contributions! There are still some things to do, and before I came back, he also told me: He has only liked one girl in his life." With that, he squatted down violently, bit his arm, and restrained himself from crying.

Xue Yuxin's pale face flushed with a hint of redness, and her eyes were happily closed. Then she suddenly opened her eyes again, and cried as she struggled: "Marelline, you are lying. Tell me, what's wrong with him? What's wrong with him?"

"He's good, really. "Marinelin's heart is dripping blood.

"You lied to me, then why didn't you call me? Why, what do you say?" Xue Yuxin's body trembled continuously, looking at Ma Ruilin who was squatting on the ground in despair, and said in a daze, "Something happened to him, something must have happened, you all lied to me......" After speaking, he fainted.

With a terrible and anxious cry, the doctor rushed in with the nurse. Marinelin stumbled and fled.

As soon as he rushed out of the ward, he was grabbed by Chen Jiahe and patted his shoulder, "You're right, go downstairs and wait for me." With that, he pushed the door open and walked into the room.

Xue Yuxin's father glared at him angrily, "Old Chen, why did you say it?"

Chen Jiahe sighed, "Do you want to let the child leave with concern?" Xue Yuxin's father sat on the hospital bed with tears in his eyes. Chen Jiahe continued: "Old Xue, tell the child, otherwise it will be unfair to her." ”

Xue Yuxin's father howled and cried bitterly.

After a period of busy doctors and nurses, after a long time, Xue Yuxin woke up with a "bang". Her tear-filled eyes looked at her relatives beside her sluggishly, and when her gaze fell on Chen Jiahe, she stopped, "Uncle Chen, what's wrong with him?"

Chen Jiahe looked at Xue Yuxin's parents, and after asking them to nod and agree, he slowly said everything Ma Ruilin said.

Xue Yuxin cried while listening, looking forward to it for many days, but all she got was heartbreaking news. He shook his head and didn't want to believe it, but he knew in his heart that all this was true. The boy who haunted him would never appear again. At this time, she was also nearing the end of the line, and she didn't understand why this was the case. I once tried to imagine a variety of meeting scenes, and even worried that Tian Xiang would be devastated because of his departure, but now all worries are superfluous, leaving only this belly full of bitter water and endless lovesickness.

"The words that Ma Ruilin said were brought to you by Tian Xiang before he died. Chen Jiahe paused, and continued in a heavy tone, "Tomorrow, the bureau will set up a tomb for him and the other five comrades who died in the martyr's cemetery. ”

Xue Yuxin was already paralyzed on the hospital bed, muttering, "Wait for me, wait for me......"

Another night has fallen. The autumn rain is bleak and sassy. Xue Yuxin was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, muttering something that no one could understand.

When Xue Yuxin fell asleep again, her mother touched her forehead distressedly, tears in her eyes. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his voice was exceptionally clear.

Two old men hurriedly approached her. The mother held her hand, "Child, what's wrong?"

"I saw him, he's not dead! He's not dead! I'm going to find him......" Xue Yuxin said and sat up.

The mother cried bitterly, hugged her and comforted her, "Child, child! ”

Xue Yuxin leaned on her mother's arms and was stunned for a while, then suddenly withered, as if she had exhausted all her strength, and seemed to wake up from her dream. After her parents helped her lie down, Xue Yuxin looked at the two old men blankly, and begged in a weak voice: "Dad, Mom, bury me next to him when I die, okay?"

The mother held her hand in pain and cried: "Child, don't say this, you will be fine." ”

Xue Yuxin shook her head gently, "Promise me, okay?"

The father's body trembled, old tears were in his eyes, and he nodded in pain.

Xue Yuxin suddenly asked anxiously, "Where is the Acacia Stone?" her mother hurriedly put the blood-red stone in her hand from the bedside, "Here, here." ”

Xue Yuxin looked at her parents quietly, sad and guilty, tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes. After a long time, he quietly closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep again.

It was a quiet night, but for Xue Yuxin's parents, their hearts were always hanging. Because of Xue Yuxin's actions and words just now, they felt ominous. The two looked at each other speechlessly, with tears in their eyes.

It was late at night, and the drizzle outside the window hit the glass with a crisp sound. Xue Yuxin's parents, who hadn't closed their eyes for many days, also crawled on the head of her bed and gradually fell asleep.

The acacia stone slid from Xue Yuxin's hand to the ground with a crisp sound.

The parents woke up suddenly. "Xin!!" called out to his father.

However, Xue Yuxin lay there quietly without any reaction. The father hurriedly reached out to probe her snort, hugged her and shouted for her. The mother cried out with a "wow" on the side. "Doctor, doctor!" shouted the father and rushed out of the room.

After a rush of footsteps, the entire ward was filled with people. In the cry of her parents, a white sheet was spread out, covering Xue Yuxin's body, and slowly pushed her out......

The acacia stone that fell to the ground, with the flow of people coming in and out, was kicked into the corner, then kicked close to the door, landed in a dark corner, and finally disappeared into the vast night......

The Geological Bureau was originally scheduled to erect a tomb for the deceased hero the next day, but for some reason, it was notified that it would be delayed for a few days.

At the moment when the martyr's clothes were buried, the answer was finally revealed. Because with Tian Xiang's clothes being buried, there was also Xue Yuxin's urn. The inscription is engraved side by side with two columns: Tomb of the martyr Tian Xiang!

The bleak autumn rain hit the tombstone, splashing stars and rain, and a few strands of beads slowly flowed down the tombstone......
